It’s official everyone! I’ve switched to a new hair sponsor – HEADLINES HAIRDRESSING. Not to worry, I’m still in good relations with my previous stylist & he’s fully aware of my switch. Now that I’ve moved, I can try out different hair treatments & see how beneficial they are for my hair. Alright JERRY, I’m counting on you to treat my hair with tender loving care from now on!

Truth be told, I’m really excited to be working with JERRY from HEADLINES HAIRDRESSING! He’s resurrected a couple of my girlfriends hair & my oh my, their hair looks so manageable even without styling I am literally green with envy. Not that my hair is in a hopeless state currently, but I’m really looking to do an intensive hair treatment for longer-lasting results! Let’s get started, shall we?

It’s time to give my hair a new coat of color for my summer vacation! It’s a special concoction because I told JERRY to surprise me! Are we all now excited to see the end result?

He finished it off with this amazing MUCOTA SCENA 3-STEP INTENSIVE. Prior to this, I’ve read up a lot with regards to this treatment & it’s apparently the holy grail of all hair treatments. No matter how much turbulence your hair has gone through in the past, all that would soon be history. This treatment is like god-sent, I can’t wait to wake up to silky smooth hair all day everyday. And the best part is that it lasts for 6 months. SAY WHAT?

My hair ends are fried from constant use of the straightening iron, oops! Let’s see how well this treatment works for me! In fact, JERRY mentioned with religious visits for this treatment, my hair will soon be glorious once again since it helps to prevent further hair damage & banish all those frizz.

CAN I JUST SAY THIS IS THE BEST TREATMENT I’VE DONE IN LIFE SO FAR? No, I ain’t exaggerating. IT IS THAT AMAZING! I haven’t felt such silky smooth hair for such a while, so please don’t mind my countless shameless shots! Oh boy, I just know that I’m gonna be addicted to this MUCOTA SCENA 3-STEP INTENSIVE !

Totally can’t stop camwhoring away to such pretty hair! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Finally found the time to drop by BodyPerfect to banish my tummy fats & love handles after what seemed like forever. You have no idea how toxic my recent trip was, I was such a glutton I couldn’t resist all the Shanghai delicacies! To make matters worse, I was practically partying every night, it’s no wonder I’m bloated at all the wrong places! But not to worry, because BodyPerfectalways keeps my body in shape. With ULTRASONIC CAVITATION , I can eat however I like without having to step on the treadmill literally. YES IT’S THAT GOOD!

To refresh your memory a lil’, ULTRASONIC CAVITATION is the FASTEST NON-SURGICAL WAY to SCULPT & CONTOUR YOUR BODY in a PAINLESS MANNER with NO DOWNTIME. It’s extremely effective in banishing those stubborn fats which no amount of exercise can help. I’m on my third session currently & that hourglass figure is really starting to emerge! Ooh La La! Let’s take a look at how my tummy looked way before I reached out to BodyPerfect for help! For that skinny frame of mine, that bulging tummy is clearly an issue. So now you know why I preferred loose fitting apparels all these while? Nothing could hide my insecurities better than that! Please don’t cringe! Check out the bulge below the belly button!

Alright, maybe it’s more obvious when taken from the side! Yikes!

Believe me, I wouldn’t be singing praises if this treatment didn’t work wonders for me. As the therapist worked her way through my love handles, I was grinning from ear to ear knowing that as soon as she’s done, I’d be having a more contoured waistline & of course a flatter tummy. Science is amazing baby & nothing can beat that!

Decided to add on the TRIPLE ACTION WRAP for even better results. I’m not usually this greedy, but with the upcoming beach vacation, I need to have a rockin’ hot bod pronto! This TRIPLE DETOXIFICATION & CONTOURING BODY WRAP comprises of a cocktail of detoxifying plants for STRONG LIPOLYTIC ACTIVITY. In addition, the body recovers its energy & vitality, leaving it with a healthy glow!

Unlike the CAVITATION TREATMENT, this TRIPLE ACTION WRAP is 15 minutes of pure cold sensation! I had my doubts too & wasn’t sure how drastically different my body would look after and oh boy do I hate the cold! But seeing the results afterwards, I was completely sold. What on earth is this sorcery? I am definitely doing this at my next session, for vanity’s sake!

With the combination of these two power-packed treatments, am I not one step closer to getting the body shape I’ve always desired? Thank you so much BodyPerfect!

I must confess, when anyone asks me to whip up a meal, I would break out in cold sweat. Because the last time I did it, my friends told me straight to my face I’m not suited for the kitchen. How disheartening! Of course, I’m not the sort who gives up easily & with much practice, restaurant standard food was no meat feat for this tough cookie! So Agri, how’d you go from total noob to master chef in such a short time-span?

Alright alright, the practice part was far from the truth, & no I didn’t engage a last minute helper nor did I enrol in a cooking crash course. If you’re clueless about the ABC’s of cooking just like me & you’re in need to impress your loved ones pronto, MEAT SAUCERY can solve them all. In short, MEAT SAUCERY offers healthy, high-quality frozen meals that have been prepared with its revolutionary techniques to deliver top-notch quality food to you.

Even pricing-wise, they’re very reasonably priced which is why I keep coming back to purchase the AKETARE WAGYU STEAKS & PROVINCIAL FILLET OF SALMON! Honestly, I was never a fan of cooked salmon until I had the one here! It’s so easy to prepare, all you have to do is remove the contents from the frozen pack & heat it up! My favorite way to eat it is to slightly pan fry it over high heat!

In case you’re wondering, MEAT SAUCERY is not a walk-in restaurant but they however offer PRIVATE CHEF DINING services. The founder is so nice to organize this mini gathering for my girls to try out some the dishes I’ve been raving to them about! Our bellies were very happy at the end of it all, thank you so much! Prepare to feast with your eyes people!

Trust me, it tastes as good as it looks! There’s something about MEAT SAUCERY’S secret marinades that left us wanting for more!

Recently, I’ve been approached by BIOSKIN to try out their treatments & honestly, I was really excited to embark on a journey with them to attain stellar-looking skin. They’ve been around a long time & I’ve heard so much raves about their latest BIO P2x ACNE SKIN TREATMENT.

You know how many beauty salons practice the extraction method & sometimes if not done properly, it leads to scarring. But over here at BIOSKIN, big hurray to no extraction because the BIO P2X does an even better job minus the pain. I admit I’m guilty of picking on my blackheads/whiteheads at my nose sometimes up to twice a week (I know it’s such a bad habit), but in all honesty, after seeing what the BIO P2X can do, I’m quitting this habit slowly but surely.

Long story short, it works like a vacuum & sucks out all the skin impurities. I can assure you it’s painless. Believe me, I was disgusted & impressed at the same time. Imagine witnessing your blackheads & whiteheads come off one by one, major eew! But I’m not complaining because my face is squeaky clean it’s unbelievable.

I’ve previously tried out a similar machine at the doctor’s office & found it really effective in regulating my skin’s condition (lesser breakouts) + tightening my pores. This also meant you have to do a lot of maintenance (mask everyday) at home because this treatment might be a lil’ drying, But of course over at BIOSKIN, they complete this treatment with a rejuvenating facial so that your skin is fully hydrated. I felt truly relaxed during the treatment & even fell asleep halfway through the face massage!

When it comes to facial treatments, results matter a lot. You’d be happy to know there’s no downtime for the BIO P2X. With all the impurities drawn out, it makes makeup application so at ease & much longer-lasting. I’m glad the BIO P2X really does make a significant difference & looking forward to more sessions to attain Korean-looking skin. Thank you so much BIOSKIN!

Also, I’ve started on a detox regime as of late. Don’t be mistaken, my main purpose is not to lose weight but rather to promote good health because of all the toxins I’ve been eating. Sometimes I do face the problems of over-eating & ending up with a bloated stomach. Super unglam I know! That’s when detox really helps! Also, I know for a fact that consuming red meat in large quantities is not good.

I’ve been trying out this KOGEN DETOX TEA by BIOSKIN for 5 days.When you go on full detox, your system clears out your body’s toxins effectively. And that’s exactly what I need because honestly, I’m full of poison inside.

KOGEN DETOX TEA is a FERMENTED HERBAL TEA ENZYME POWDER that HELPS IN DETOXIFICATION, STOMACH GAS REDUCTION & CONSTIPATION. It is made from 54 types of organic vegetables, fruits, weeds & yeast. Basically all the healthy stuff I definitely won’t put inside my mouth, but in powder form, I can accept.

I usually take this right before bedtime. Actually, due to my petite frame & also because my main purpose is not to lose weight drastically, I’m not required to complete a pack a day. Hence I always just do half sachet each time. See, it’s really easy to make!

I’d be heading to the toilet to let it all out (of course not like diarrhea don’t worry). So far, I haven’t experienced any tummy ache & really loving how my tummy is getting flatter day by day. I no longer have to feel so conscious in tiny cropped tops for my advertorial shoots!

Thank goodness for KOGEN DETOX TEA, I don’t have to worry about having a dragon’s appetite. Alright now, have a good week ahead & stay tuned to my next update on MEAT SAUCERY!

Recently people have been telling me ‘Oh Agri, your brows are so on point, tell us your secret!’ & it’s been making me grin from ear to ear! No it’s not that I’ve changed the way I drew my brows. As you all already know, I’ve gotten eyebrow tattoo done previously months back & the color has more or less faded because I haven’t gone back for a touch-up. I didn’t hate it, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I’m always open for different types of treatments (spoken like a lab rat), because you never know which one suits you best until you’ve tried it all.

I’m all about looking younger than my real age, & fuller-looking brows’ the way to go for a more youthful outlook. Unfortunately, with eyebrow tattoo, the result is not as ideal if you decide to have a thicker design especially close to your eye sockets since it penetrates deep into the dermis. Hence, EYEBROW EMBROIDERY is the way to go for STROKE BY STROKE PRECISION! So there you go, my secret is revealed! Don’t say I never share!

Here I am at BROWTISAN – also my favorite go-to place for sexy cat-eyed lashes. Don’t you love how luxurious the interior is, you can’t help but feel like an ultimate princess right here! Let’s take a look at my brows with no makeup on them!

Here’s a clearer visual taken with my Iphone 6! Aren’t they a lil’ thin & sparse-looking towards the end? Not forgetting what a messy state they’re in!

Alright let’s get started & get those brows numbed for a good ol’ 20 minutes! If you’re afraid of pain, you can have it on slightly longer! Fret not my dears, COCO is extremely gentle. If at any point you feel discomfort during the embroidery session, she will apply more numbing cream for you!

Check out my brows with one side drawn on & one side sans makeup! What a difference it makes!

And this is the customized brow design COCO created specially for me!

The very first time the founder COCO drew on my brows, I was so tempted to never wash them for a week. Just take a look at this, you’d feel me. I really don’t know how she does it, but I want those magic hands! In fact I’m not the only one who has this thought! She really is the MAESTRO OF BROWS! With above two decades of experience in the brow industry, I know I’m in complete safe hands!

When it comes to matters of the brows, she’s 101% attentive & will analyze your features before creating a design suited for you. Can’t wait for her to enhance my brows & make them look alluring! I opted for a dark brown colour so that I can just go over with brow mascara should I dye my hair in a lighter shade.

You’d think the process is pain, but it’s zero pain honestly. In fact, I was sleeping pretty soundly throughout the whole thing, & if you heard snores, that’s probably me!

Check out the final result! Done meticulously stroke by stroke to mimick real hair! Oh boy I love it already! Thank you so much COCO & BROWTISAN! My newly embroidered brows frame my face perfectly, I look awake even when I feel like a zombie inside. Now you know the wonders of perfectly sculpted brows! It’s totally normal for your brows to look darker than usual, but it’d slowly turn natural in a week’s time!

Here’s a closeup of my newly-done brows! Crafted with perfection- just the way I like it! Aftercare is extremely important if you want to have good results! You can purchase TEGADERM FILMS at WATSONS/GUARDIAN to protect your brows from touching water. BROWTISAN will also provide you with an AFTER-CARE KIT to apply over your brows thrice a day!

Here’s how my brows look 3 days later. No more eyebrow pencil needed, I’m ready to toss it away!

One week has gone by & my brows are looking even more natural than ever! Looking forward to getting them touched-up in two weeks time for a more lasting effect!

I don’t know about you, but I definitely like my mornings to be hassle-free! With BROWTISAN’S EYEBROW EMBROIDERY & EYELASH EXTENSION, I literally wake up looking 3/4 made-up! All I need is powder & lipstick before I head out. Easy peasy!

Yes EYEBROW EMBROIDERY may be considered a lil’ pricey to some, but it’s a really good investment especially if you’re the type who’d like to spend lesser time on makeup before work each day. Don’t you want to sleep a lil’ more? Plus it lasts about 3 years, so if you do the math, it’s pretty worth it! I have recommended a couple of friends here & they’re extremely satisfied with the results too. Thank you once again COCO & BROWTISAN for my beautiful set of brows!

Always excited to visit my stylist KEVIN because he’s extremely meticulous when it comes to caring for my hair. I make it a point to visit at least once a month to keep those split ends at bay! Can’t complain because I’m in ultimate relaxation mode every time I’m under his care! The ANTI-FRIZZ MILK TREATMENT is my holy grail & it makes my hair so incredibly smooth & smelling good!

Decided to have a different set of colour this time round too, staying away from ash-tones for the time-being! This SUMMER BROWN is looking oh so fine, thank you so much KEVIN! He even did such a feminine blowout for me, I can’t help but feel beautiful all day!

Dinner at ROLAND RESTAURANT afterwards. Pardon my never-ending cravings for crabs of all sorts lately, just can’t seem to get enough of them!

Time for me to get back to a full day of meetings! Work has been pretty productive as of late & I’ve never felt more contented! PS, for the month of April, I’d be opening up my INSTAGRAM SLOTS at PROMOTIONAL RATES (because it’s my birthday month yay!) & if you’d like me to feature your blogshop, drop me an email at agrichicavenue@gmail.com !

With my birthday coming up real soon, it’s time to get my face camera ready 24/7. And with that, it’s time to visit ASTIQUE CLINIC to get another touch-up session for my under-eyes. I’ve tried multiple eye-creams in the past & splurged on countless treatments, but really nothing worked as well as this!

So what’s this magical treatment that I speak so fondly of? It’s really just UNDER-EYE BOTOX + FILLERS, & my doctor always injects just the right amount to give me youthful-looking eyes. If you’ve followed me long enough on this blog, you’d know I used to suffer from a case of huge eye bags. Of course, if you’re into the Korean trend thinking that eye bags are cute, good for you! But in my case, I hated them so much & would do anything & everything to bid them goodbye!

If you’re afraid of pain, you can always request to have the numbing cream on slightly longer. And not to worry, DR. MATTHEW YAP is really gentle! Here’s a picture of my under-eye area being numbed from a previous session. I usually have them on for about twenty minutes!

So here’s a comparison from way before I started on this treatment two years back & now so that you can really see how drastic the results are. Can you see how my eye condition has improved vastly & no I didn’t get any eye bags surgery done! I really wasn’t joking when I said I was suffering from a really bad case of humongous bags!

//BEFORE FIRST SESSION//

//AFTER FIRST SESSION//

//AFTER SECOND SESSION//

//AFTER THIRD SESSION//

I’m at my fourth touch-up today & this is how my eyes look currently. Even on days when I’m so sleep-deprived, there’s no eye bags or dark circles. I love it so much & I owe it all to my awesome doctor!

ASTIQUE CLINIC is located at 350 ORCHARD ROAD, SHAW HOUSE, #08-00. To make an appointment, drop them a call at 6732 3801.

Recently, I have a growing obsession with cropped tops & we all know to look good in that, one needs to have a flat tummy. Oh boy, you have no idea how tiring it is to suck in your tummy for hours especially when you’re out & about! Are you guilty of that too? I love to eat, but I’m not looking forward to a prosperous belly look. That’d be a nightmare!

That’s me sucking in my tummy right there under the scorching sun!

Yes the sad truth is, with age, my metabolism rate has slowed down & all I’m left with is a bulging tummy. It’s not overly humongous, but for my petite frame, people sometimes mistake it for a mini baby bump. Even with that, I’m not willing to quit my sinful diet, I’m really as stubborn as a mule. I’ve also tried exercising regularly, but that too didn’t help me. Is there any other way ever to combat those fats?

Been doing quite a bit of research online & saw that Hollywood celebrities were raving about this ULTRASONIC CAVITATION to blast off unsightly fats right before a red carpet event. Imagine how excited I was after knowing this machine is available in Singapore too! Honestly, I was very skeptical at the start, how could it be that with one session, you’d be able to see instant results? I NEED TO TRY IT!

Decided to make a trip down to BodyPerfect after a girlfriend of mine recommended me. She has attained a svelte figure after weeks of treatments with them & I can’t wait to achieve the same results too! I got a better understanding of the ULTRASONIC CAVITATION upon consultation. Doctors too have this machine but of course they charge an exorbitant price for that!

Basically, ULTRASONIC CAVITATION is a non-surgical fat reduction therapy minus the blood & sweat. The treatment targets inflexible fat deposits that you’re unable to lose through diet or exercise (perfect for someone like me). BODYPERFECT’S 50K ULTRASONIC CAVITATION offers a contouring solution to get your body in shape with no downtime & no scarring.

For my treatment, BODYPERFECTwill be working on my tummy & love handles (yes I had no idea that was the real problem until they pointed it out) all at once. Let’s get started, shall we? They’d first put some markings on the areas to be worked on & in my case, those stubborn love handles.

The treatment itself was very comfortable, the therapist was very gentle with me. I’m not gonna lie, I was wishing it lasted even longer, because it really felt like a massage! In twenty minutes, I witnessed a more contoured waistline. Oh wow, I am never underestimating the power of science anymore. I think I’d be tossing out that gym membership very soon! Thank you BodyPerfect for restoring my confidence back! I definitely can’t wait to undergo more sessions & show you my final result!

Specially for my readers, BodyPerfect is offering a 20 MINUTES ULTRASONIC CAVITATION (worth $388) ABSOLUTELY FREE! You really have to try it to believe it! Call 6235 7377 for this awesome promo!

This is the time to pig out on all that unhealthy pineapple tarts & whatnots (the list goes on). I am definitely a sucker for all these yummy snacks, so can you picture how delighted I was when I was shopping at CLARKE QUAY CENTRAL MALL & spotted all these interesting Chinese New Year snacks? Needless to say, I had to stock up. Thank goodness for my beautiful babe Sheena, I could barely manage on my own!

The sight of food always gets me distracted, but really we’re here to check out the CLARKE QUAY CENTRAL MALL FUKUBUKURO BAG (LUCKY BAG). I was immediately drawn to it because I simply love the colour red, duh! And now, it’s time to take a selfie or two!

Aside from that, CLARKE QUAY CENTRAL MALL will also be featuring their first ever TENANT FUKUBUKURO BAG. I had the privilege to check out one store’s very own FUKUBUKURO BAG & like the former, it’s also guaranteed 3x the bag’s value with different contents.

Back at BEAUTI INSTINCT for yet another skin pampering session before Valentine’s Day & the Chinese New Year season. Not so much in need of a skin fix this time round since my problems have been somewhat kept at bay, yes I’ve been good & cutting those late nights down. It’s all about the maintenance now baby!

Time to get reunited with my all time favorite ROLLER TREATMENT. Unlike the past, I didn’t have to go really intense this time round since most of my deep scarring have been treated. Pain-factor wise, it’s really bearable. But of course, if your problem area is pretty severe, I’d say go intense to achieve even better results.

To refresh your memory a little, the ROLLER TREATMENT is really effective in ERADICATING SCARS because it STIMULATES COLLAGEN PRODUCTION. You can always look back at my old posts on BEAUTI INSTINCT to check out how bad my skin used to be & this was one treatment that really turned my life around. I was that girl with a face filled with acne & with BEAUTI INSTINCT’S help over the years, I am now feeling more confident than ever sans makeup.

According to your different skin concerns, the consultant will assign a couple of cocktails to target & treat your skin condition. This time round, I indulged in a mixture of GLYCOLIC ACID, TAURINE, GLUTATHIONE& HYALURONIC ACID.

My skin looks pinkish (particularly the cheek areas) & lifted immediately after the treatment. Spot the INSTANT RADIANCE too? The redness goes away in a couple of hours, don’t fret! Also, it’s best to avoid the sun or pile on sunblock for the next couple of days.

Here’s how my skin looks with a thin layer of sunscreen! No foundation or loose powder needed.

Alright now, it’s not a crime to be vain. Let’s love ourselves a lil’ more & give our skin a little boost for the upcoming celebrations! Drop BEAUTI INSTINCT a call at 6733 9149 to make an appointment & quote ‘AV’for 30% OFF your ROLLER TREATMENT.

BEAUTI INSTINCT is located at 545 ORCHARD ROAD, #03-14/03-39, FAR EAST SHOPPING CENTRE.

Headed to SUSHI KUU for some comfort food afterwards. Japanese cuisine never fails to put a smile to my face & my honey knows best!
